Your stories

My name is Michelle Smith from Newcastle upon Tyne. I suffered with severe PND after the birth of my daughter. Unfortunately due to lack of support and help, it went undetected for two years and by then it was so bad that I was diagnosed with Clinical Depression which I have had now for eleven years.

I do beleive that there is still a big stigma over mental illness and because of this I decided to write a small blog, not giving any advice as such, but just to let women know that they are not alone and that there is help out there.

My blog is: meandmycloud.blogspot.com

I would be really grateful if this could go on your site in the hope that it may help even one person.
